Rylee Graves Counseling

I specialize in supporting teenagers aged 15+ and young adults as they navigate the complexities of life, including balancing work, school, and relationships while discovering who they are and where they’re headed. The pressures to succeed, fear of failure, and uncertainty about the future can often lead to stress, anxiety, and self-doubt. I’m here to help you address these challenges, whether they involve relationship dynamics, self-worth, life transitions, attachment concerns, or mood disorders like depression and anxiety. I’m an ally and affirming supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe it’s essential to tackle these issues head-on in a safe and supportive space to help you find your sense of autonomy in the world. My approach is centered around meeting each client's unique needs, with my practice grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Art Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Interventions. My goal is to meet you wherever you are on your journey and guide you toward healing and growth. I combine various counseling theories to create a personalized experience that truly fits you. Throughout our work together, I prioritize open communication, ensuring we regularly assess and adjust your counseling needs to align with your goals and progress. In our sessions, we’ll explore your core values and beliefs, challenge any unhelpful thinking patterns, and delve into the life experiences and relationships that have shaped them. My aim is to help you develop the emotional awareness and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that fosters empowerment, self-acceptance, and authenticity, characterized by growth, laughter, safety, and confidence. I believe therapy doesn’t have to be heavy or overwhelming. I make it a priority to infuse joy into our sessions, celebrating victories as we address challenges. My goal is to create a balanced experience that honors all aspects of your journey, from struggles to successes.
